I don't see the need for three extra doors, comfortable seating for 5, or all that extra room. I use those things <5% of the time I drive. I can easily fit my girlfriend, my cat, my bike, and groceries. My point being, practicality is a relative term in my eyes.
This is what the comparison really comes down to, what do you need and what do you want.

I still maintain that my #2 new car to buy is an Abarth and if I was serious about it I would have thoroughly vetted the GTI and MINI before buying.

When all you want is two door hard top twisty fun, the Toyobaru is hard to beat.
